    AI is really getting dangerous & scary!

    I was taught to recognize validity. The work had to be replicated by an independent source with the same conclusion and sample size. Think scientific research that is peer reviewed and duplicated elsewhere. This is believable. As Chief38 recommends, everything else is suspect. Tom H.

    Got a call from Homeland Security

    My answer is "moshee moshee", Japanese for "talk talk". My wife answers in Spanish only when we feel playful.

    Time flies!

    It's said that time seems to go by much faster as we age. I suspect that this is because we are much less active. There are far fewer events to occupy our consciousness. I take this as a mandate to avoid the recliner and TV remote and stay active....., even when my 80 year old body yells at...

    Business CEO's and business practices in general

    I'm compelled to point out that most large-middle size companies have a CEO that reports directly to a Board of Directors (BOD). His/Her job is policy deployment --- deployment of the BOD policies regarding product and profit. I have a MBA that taught leadership principles and emphasized...

    Motor oil and filters for our cars - I have finally come to my senses and become practical in my old age

    One more time. One has no clue about the actual effects of any given engine oil on engine durability. It's all anecdotal based on one's personal duty cycle. Without hard teardown measurements, over a disciplined design of experiment, you are guessing. This is like walking through a mine...

    Motor oil and filters for our cars - I have finally come to my senses and become practical in my old age

    To me it's simple. The goal is to avoid engine localized welding (wear) that leads to poor performance and possible failure. Good Lubrication etiquette is very cheap insurance. Go with the good stuff that doesn't easily oxidize. Reading an oil analysis report for a trained observer would be...

    Motor oil and filters for our cars - I have finally come to my senses and become practical in my old age

    I really struggle with subjective analysis of oil quality and accompanying engine life without any definitive directly observable objective data. I personally ran bearing temperature studies as a base engine enginer for Ford. This was a long time ago and Mobil 1 came out on top. Teardown results...

    Alberta Province Gun Show

    Having left Alaska and British Columbia from our marathon camping adventure, we crossed into Alberta and --- low and behold, the first town had signs for a gun show. My wife nodded and I pulled in to free parking and a $5.00 entrance fee. What I saw was a very organized, 200 table show with...

    well....

    Best regards on the other side. I've been told that there are 3 key events in life. You are born, you live, and you die. The first and last are out of your control. A rich life is a blessing. Success!

    Rattlesnake

    Remember that rattlesnakes help with the rodent population control. If they are close to the house, well..... another rattle for the collection.

    Potent bear spray?

    I'm currently camping in Alaska. Last night we stayed at a camp ground called Paxson Lake that was in the middle of absolutely no where..... off the Richardson Highway before Delta Junction. While walking the pooch, I observed lots of bear and moose poo. I had a can of UDAP on my belt but, I...

    Which Forum Members Would You Visit?

    Not exactly a correct answer to the question but, I visited with JK@AK yesterday and it was a very pleasing encounter. A high value kind of guy! Tom H.

    Canada and Alaska Travel

    I called the RCMP firearms office before we left Arizona and inquired about TRANSPORTING a 6 inch barreled revolver through Canada to Alaska. I was told to apply in advance for a permit and that while it was ultimately up to respective province, he thought that it would be acceptable. Allow at...
